Naseeruddin Shah's son Vivaan Shah debuted in Bollywood with Vishal Bhardwaj's 7 Khoon Maaf and now, the actor is all set for the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Happy New Year which is slated to release in October. While in this film Vivaan plays the role of a hacker, in his next titled Mastan, he will be seen playing the role of a gangster.

Vivaan who is often in the limelight for his chocolate boy looks revealed that his character is called Master Bachcha Khan in the film. Though his looks are child-like, they are deceptive. Underneath this kid lies a tough and dangerous gangster. We hear that Vivaan gets involved in the world of crime since his college days. Not just that, the film will also have Vivaan's father Naseeruddin Shah playing the role of a don along with Monica Dogra playing the female lead.

Mastan will be shot extensively in Mumbai and Dubai and the film will be directed by debutant Rocky Khanna and produced by Sunil Bohra.

Vivaan Shah is also playing a major role in Anurag Kashyap's magnum opus Bombay Velvet which stars Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma.
